Professional rustaceans, what's your story?

That is, anyone who uses Rust in their job, how did you go about it? What is your background? Did you learn Rust separately and happen to find a job using it? Did you successfully introduce Rust into your current position?

Long story short, I'm curious in general but specifically I'm a web app dev who is considering transitioning careers eventually, and I'm definitely fascinated with Rust being a truly general purpose language, and just a general change of pace from my comfort zone of TypeScript. I didn't realize it essentially had FE WASM frameworks, so I figured it's possible I could at least shift my hobby projects to going down that route as I get more familiar with the language. I simply do not have a background in systems programming which seems to be where the biggest movement is happening. So, again, I'm curious about absolutely anyone's professional experience, but I'm also trying to figure out if there's any hope of transitioning in the near future, if it's more of a 5-10 year plan, or if I might as well ask a magic 8 ball.
